New Trunk Line Rules.

NEW YORK. Sept. 9.-All the trunk
lines were regularly represented at the
passenger agents meeting at Commits
sioner Fink'S office to-day, except the
Baltimore u Ohio. Assistant Commits
siOner Pierson acted for Mr.. Lord. of
that road. 1t was determined to raise
the baggage limit of Immigrants from 100
to $50 pounds, the change to 90 into
effect tomorrow. The new emigrant
tariff, which will be based on passenger
tariff, will not go into effect until about
Oct. Is. The delay is caused by the
difficulty in making up a schedule with
all the different kinds of money that
have to be handled. There are 1000
points of destination to be covered.
The baggage excess will probably be
less than heretofore. On recommends
ton of Commissioner Abbott, of Chi
cago, it was decided to let rates west of
Chicago remain asat present for at least
ten days, when it is intended to restore
them to the old schedule. The free
baggage limit of firSt-class passengers
was also raised from 100 to $50 pounds.
Mr.. PiersOn said to reporter that it had
been determined to revise the immigrant
tariff last spring before the newspapers
agitated the subject. He also stated
that he had given information as to the
excursion rate between Philadelphia
and Chicago as $32 under misappre-
henSiOn, owing to absence from the
city. The correct figure is S24.

A BIG VICTORY.

The. Commercial Travellers Sue
h coed in Getting Concessions
b From Eastern Roads.
For time the decision Of the commits
,siopers of interstate commerce in regard
to commercial mileage was regarded as a
serious check to any concessions on the
part of the railroads. Those interested,
therefore, in cheaper mileage are graft
fed to see that such is not the result,
rand that many roads are making import
eant concessions. Since July l the fol-
IL ,00Q,mile tickets at $40: Michigan Cen
trail. Flint & Pere Marquette, Chicago q
West Michigan, Baltimore & Ohio,
Pennsylvania lines, Louisville, New
Albany & Chicago, Columbus,
Hooking Valley & Toledo, and
Toledo 4 Ohio Central and the Cincin-
natl, Indianapolis, st. Louis & Chicago
railway. The Reading & Pennsylvania
railroad issues 1000 mile book at $40,
and the Ohio River Il Pittsburg railway
issues 1000 mile books east of the Ohio
river at $50. The Manitoba in the
Northwest has reduced its mileage
books from $50 to $25. Similar conces-
SiOns are reported on several roads in
Grand Trunk is issuing week end
tickets. OF course, under the interstate
commerce law as interpreted by the
commissioners, these privileges are not
granted to the commercial traveller
alone, but to the public as
well, yet it is to the tireless energy of
the traveller that the concessions are
due. The railroads did not make these
concessions out of pure generosity and
without the asking. Nor could the
commercial travellers, as individuals,
however energetic and however per-
suasive, have brought about the above
gratifying results. 1t required effective
organization, honest work and thorough
tact to accomplish so much in SO short a
time. The railroads, too, it must be
said. seem to grasp the situation, and,
while compelled to grant more priyi-
leges than they desire to the
general public, yet do so rather
than impair the usefulness of
so important factor in the commercial
world as the commercial traveller. The
GLOBE may soon be able to report that
the railroads entering in the Twin
Cities have adopted the wise policy of
many of the Eastern roads and thus
still further encourage the commerce of

THE WINNIPEG WAR.

Over the Red River Road.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man.. Sept. 9.-Argu-
ment upon the Browning injunction
was continued all day, and as the case
approaches completion, the interest and
anxiety in the issue increases. Ewart,
@. c., talked for six hours on behalf of
the plaintiff, the argument being closed
by Balm and Culver, who reviewed all
the points and sought to clinch each.
The principal points i'll ~Ewart'S argu-
ment were that the public officers and
even governors had been held to be IL
able in cases somewhat similar, and he
quoted authorities in support of the ar
gument; also that it was competent for
trustee to act as Browning did. Dur
ing the progress of Ewart'S argument
that gentleman set out to establish that
a trustee might act for corporation in
such a matter as the present.
In reply the chief justice. made
some important statements and
admissions remarking that that was the
only difficulty which had been bother
ing him during the progress of the case,
and he was not clear upon it. He stated
that Browning in the examination in
Montreal had given his evidence in a
very suspicious anu ulucClueu Hldlnef,
so that it was not clear whether he was
acting for himself or as puppet of the
Canadian Pacific road. If the latter
were fact it was evident that Brown
ing was usingithe process of the court in
the most unfair manner, and he was.
not entitled to relief. 1t appeared to,
his mind from the plaintiffs examina-.
ton that such was his position. 1t is
expected the argument will not be con-
Guided before Monday evening as five
lawyers have yet to speak. Great I'M
easiness is felt because of the absence
of any information whether Norquay
has succeeded in raising the necessary
funds to 90 on with the work,

BALTIMORE, Sept. 9.-The weekly
circular of John A. HambletOn IL Co.
tomorrow will have some interesting
statements concerning the Baltimore q
Ohio deal. The HambletOns are init
mate friends of Garrett. The circular
says that there were many enemies who
bent all their energies to compel the
Baltimore & Ohio to look to new lenders
of money to carry heavy floating debt.
The enemies succeeded. The estab-
lishment OF the telegraph incurred
debt not represented by bonds,
but was a floating debt
carried on the general credit
of the Baltimore & Ohio. The tele-
graph company earned fair interest on
the money expended in buildings, ETC.,
as we'll as paying an annual rental of
$4,000 for the railroad wires. The same
state of affairs existed with respect to
the express ant palace-car systems, and
it is denied that these enterprises were
Improbable. The money the telegraph,
express and paIace-car system Origi-
nally cost was part of the floating
debt, and adding this to the amount eX-
pended in building the Philadelphia
line it will be seen that the total floating
debt could readily amount to Sill ZOO, 900.
The circular denies that "a, 900. 600 of the
floating debt matured on Sept. l, but
only $500, 900 was required to pay the in
terest on the sterling loans, and the
company
HAD THAT MONEY ON HAND.
neither the telegraph or palace car sys-
TENS will be sold at sacrifice. The
floating debt will be paid as it natures,
and only in case of necessity will the
$4,000, 900 six per cent. preferred stock
be issued. Referring to the Baltimore
& Ohio sinking fund created by the
mortgages of 1870, 1872 and 1874. which
was an Oderous yearly drain upon the
company, the circular says the scheme
for relief is to execute consolidated
mortgage for the face of existing
Indebtedness upon the main line less
the amount of the bonds of the respec-
tive mortgages in the sinking fund,
which have been actually cancelled.
This will be a consolidated per cent.
mortgage of S2S, 900, 600, representing the
entire mortgage Indebtedness upon the
main line and branches and will cover
properties not heretofore mOrtgaged.
There are 100000 of bonds in the sink
ing fund, which will cancel an
equal sum at the date of it's
maturity. Twenty million dollars will
be reserved to take up the balance
of the mortgage Indebtedness when it
natures. President D. H. Bates said
this evening in denying that the Balti-
more and Ohio telegraph had been sold:
ut is untrue. l will be here. with you
next month and twelve months from
now" Upon excellent authority it can

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Since Mrs. Lucy

her movements have invited a stricter
surveillance of the police authorities.
Her intiammatory utterances have only
served to reawaken the dread of the
community at large which prevailed
after the explosion of the murderous
anarchist bomb at the haymarket. Mrs.
Parsons, the c0lOred wife of the con-

been unenviably notorious for two or
